Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: This study examined sex-stratified effects of R-spondin 3 (RSPO3) expression levels on body fat and blood lipids and their potential mediation effects through sex hormones. METHODS: We performed a sex-stratified genome-wide association study (GWAS) of RSPO3 protein (N = 18,529 men and 21,323 women). We used two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to examine associations of RSPO3 expression with the...
